In the heart of Europe lies Switzerland. In its midst yet apart from it, like an island.

Switzerland is proud of its distinction and autonomy, reflected amongst other things in its different cantons and linguistic regions. Each episode in our series “Wild Faces of Switzerland“ seeks to do justice to this diversity.
